touch, however moisture from the paint is still evaporating from the paint & it
interacts with the mural/wall stickers/ mural piece's adhesive and they will not
stick until the paint is full cured. If you should happen to adhere the mural/
wall stickers/ mural piece's and they should become lose or fall off.It is fine.
Just place them back onto the backing and wait a week & reapply.

stickers / mural pieces to your child's walls.
-Start with the background pieces because the front one's will be placed on
top.
